I made hollandaise sauce – from scratch!!!

Are you an eggs benedict fan? I only recently (like, in the last two years) became one. That’s nuts, right?

The thing is, I never thought I liked hollandaise sauce. I had it over veggies like broccoli and cauliflower as a teenager and didn’t enjoy it at the time. Clearly your taste buds change, or I was just crazy. Because it is all kinds of delicious.

Slowly but surely I’ve come to love it. Typically I would use the sauce from a packet, but a few people recently suggested making homemade hollandaise. I’d hear it was really hard to do properly, so I was intimidated, but eventually worked up the nerve.

The results? Devine. So so good.

One thing to note – if you’re using salted butter, definitely do not add more salt. If you’re using unsalted, season with salt to your liking.

Also, poaching eggs isn’t so hard either! I thought that would be difficult but it’s not, as long as your water has vinegar in it. Easy as pie. Here’s a great tutorial from Jamie Oliver if you’ve never done it before.
